Golden State Warriors Betting Preview
The Golden State Warriors have been in great form as they’ve won six of their last nine games overall, but they are now hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting beaten by the Mavericks in a 123-115 road defeat on Thursday. Stephen Curry led the team with 38 points on 14 of 27 shooting, De’Anthony Melton added 22 points off the bench while Moses Moody chipped in with 12 points. As a team, the Warriors shot 45 percent from the field and 15 of 46 from the 3-point line as they poured in 39 points in the third quarter to take the lead after trailing for most of the first half, but they couldn’t get any stops when they needed it most as they allowed 39 points in the fourth quarter to allow the Mavericks to slip away.
Minnesota Timberwolves Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Timberwolves have gone cold lately as they’ve dropped five of their last seven games overall and they will be eager to arrest a four-game slide after getting beaten by the Bulls in a 120-115 loss on Thursday. Julius Randle led the team with 30 points, seven rebounds and six assists on 10 of 17 shooting, Anthony Edwards and Naz Reid each scored 20 points while Jaden McDaniels chipped in with 16 points and five assists. As a team, the Timberwolves shot 46 percent from the field and 15 of 41 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 32 points in the first quarter to take an early 14-point lead and it still looked like they were in control when they led by six points late in the fourth quarter, before they allowed the Bulls to score the final nine points of the game.
Golden State v Minnesota Free Prediction
The Warriors are still missing Jimmy Butler III, Seth Curry and Jonathan Kuminga, while the Timberwolves are still missing Terrence Shannon Jr. The Warriors were playing some of their best basketball of the season before they lost Jimmy Butler III to a season-ending injury and it’s already showing on the court as the Warriors have been poor on the defensive end in their past two defeats. The Timberwolves enter this contest as the healthier team, but they’ve been in a bit of a slump lately and would love a win to get their season back on track. This would be a really close contest if both teams were healthy, but the Warriors’ injuries make them vulnerable at the moment and I think the Timberwolves can take advantage to secure the win at home.
